The study "Homo cooperans: Understanding the nature of human cooperation" arrives at a clear result: 69% of study participants chose to cooperate. At the same time, the study published in the journal Science shows that people ...
Phys.org / Endangered basking sharks rely on the ocean twilight zone during long-distance migrations
Endangered basking sharks aren't fasting during long-distance migrations. A new study led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution shows that they may be foraging along the way, and in much deeper areas of the ocean than ...

A Phase III clinical trial led by Neeraj Agarwal, MD, FASCO, senior director of clinical research at Huntsman Cancer Institute and professor of internal medicine at the University of Utah (the U), has found that a combination ...
Phys.org / Inside Europe's largest Copper Age tomb, children's bones expose an ancient health crisis hidden for 5,000 years
Nearly 5,000 years ago, respiratory infections, possibly including tuberculosis, were ravaging the children buried at Camino del Molino (CMOL), Spain. The massive circular burial cave carved into rock is Europe's largest ...
Tech Xplore / Anthropic urges industry coordination to allow for a 'pause' in AI development if risks grow
Anthropic is proposing that the world's top artificial intelligence companies come up with a coordinated way to pause development of advanced AI systems, warning the technology is improving so quickly there's a risk humans ...
Tech Xplore / Driverless cars are on the rise, and now we may know why they crash
For the first time, new algorithms may be able to automatically explain why some self-driving cars crash—a question crucial to answer as more autonomous vehicles take to the roads. This new approach, developed by researchers ...
Phys.org / Billions are going into fish passage projects, but planning methods can undercut results
Fish that split their lives between fresh and salt water often face obstacles getting back and forth. Dams and roads fracture river networks and interfere with traditional migratory routes, sparking concerns about fish health ...
Tech Xplore / Framework generates 'shadow art' from scan of any object
Some people have a gift for creating beautiful works of art. Others appreciate art but do not have the talent to create it. Researchers at Cornell Tech and the Cornell Bowers College of Computing and Information Science have ...
Phys.org / Japan's new seafloor record could sharpen megathrust earthquake warnings in Nankai Trough
Off the southern coast of Japan, the Philippine Sea Plate lies underneath the Japanese mainland. The locked tectonic plates threaten to unleash a catastrophic megathrust earthquake, likely within the next few decades. Given ...
Phys.org / Supermassive black holes could be the universe's biggest planet nurseries
Supermassive black holes are the largest known black holes in the universe, sitting at the center of most large galaxies. They are sometimes described as cosmic monsters because they feed on surrounding gas and dust when ...

A newly discovered photographic postcard showing women who kept Portsmouth's railways running during the First World War has been revealed by a researcher at the University of Portsmouth—and he is appealing to local people ...
Medical Xpress / How aging reshapes sensorimotor learning: Older adults may lose explicit strategy but gain implicit adaptation
When most humans reach late adulthood, their ability to coordinate movements and maintain balance, broadly referred to as motor control, tends to gradually decline. While these changes in motor control are widely documented, ...
